[QUOTE="raredesign, post: 1615843, member: 336437"] Thanks for revisiting. I apologize if I mistook your the intent of your initial post. I can understand stability and recovery benefits for saving a document before it is created should the system crash and/or reboot, but it is completely unexpected and not a standardized workflow action. It may not bother an individual who only has the intent of creating a document start to finish, but for someone such as myself (developers and designers), try to look at it from the perspective of being asked to bookmark each webpage you visit before it will show. You will be able to click proceed without bookmarking and simply open the web page, but that popup will get annoying. We continuously run multiple tabs in a browser session, of which the majority are not bookmarked. Should the system crash, they may not be saved unless the browser inherently supports the recovery/cache/auto-save. I do not see any performance benefit from doing this, as any application is opened into memory, and regardless of saving pre or post, will happen either way. A cache file can be created via auto-save capability to safeguard against lost or corrupt files. The system handles virtual memory disk queuing, and is not circumvented by a different workflow. Thank you for checking into a way to turn the option off, but it isn't the template selection I am bothered by, but I wish the initial dialog box was optional. Please understand I am not Apple-bashing here, as I am completely impartial to any OS or App I use. If it does the job, I use it, and that spans Windows, OSX, iOS, Android, Linux, Unix, a handful of pebbles, and whatever else I need in the moment. There is a fine line of balance needed between UI design that is tailored to consumer expectation and best practice conformity. Changes should most often be optional, and UAT observed to understand workflow need better. I imagine that this will be a short-lived "feature" soon to become optional in an update. I'll try to wait patiently. [/QUOTE]
